T1 Oak tree fell The works are proposed to stop the influence of the tree(s) on the soil below building foundation level and provide long term stability to 9 Burford Road Hollywood Birmingham B47 5EH.

Should the tree/s remain the total cost of repairs will be the Superstructural repairs + Alternative method of repairs (Minimum) = ??80,000.00 It is the expert opinion of both the case engineer and arboriculturalist that on the balance of probabilities the supporting information demonstrates the influence of the tree(s).
